Justice PV Kunhikrishnan

Recently, the Kerala High Court quashed the criminal proceedings initiated against a man who was arrested by the police for watching obscene videos on his mobile phone on the roadside. The Court made it clear that the individual had committed no offence as he was viewing the obscene video in his private time without exhibiting it to others. The case has, however, revived the debate about pornography and the laws that govern it

The Kerala High Court has rejected the bail application of Jollyamma Joseph, the accused in the Koodathayi serial murders, on the ground that bail cannot be granted just because she is a woman.
